Re: [wlug] Inkscape Version 0.91 Released

I just downloaded and built it from source. To those accustomed to Gimp, where filter effects destructively modify the pixels of the image, it’s worth noting that Inkscape’s effects are non-destructive: apply a pixel filter to a path, and your original path is unaffected and remains editable as it was before.

So as you edit the path, the filters get continuously re-applied to the new path. This does slow things down somewhat, but it is very useful to be able to let you try different things and change your mind, or even remove the filter altogether.

Or you can temporarily disable a filter to speed up editing without removing it, then turn it on again afterwards.

Good stuff! Cheers, Peter
